PRESENTERS

Wendy E. Ward BASc, MSc, PhD

Dr. Wendy Ward is a Professor and Senior Research Fellow in the Faculty of Applied Health Sciences at Brock University. She leads the Nutrition, Bone and Oral Health Research Group. This research group studies how dietary strategies may help protect against osteoporosis and related fractures, and how diet can be used to promote periodontal health. Dr. Ward is a member of the Scientific Advisory Council for Osteoporosis Canada and led the Nutrition Working Group for the 2023 Clinical Practice Guidelines for Management of Osteoporosis and Fracture Prevention in Canada.

Tyler Churchward-Venne PhD

Dr. Tyler Churchward-Venne is an Associate Professor and William Dawson Scholar in the Department of Kinesiology and Physical Education at McGill University, Canada. He leads the Exercise Metabolism, Nutrition, and Muscle Health Research Laboratory. His research team incorporates the use of stable isotope tracers to study protein and amino acid metabolism in both the whole-body and in skeletal muscle tissue, focusing on how factors such as nutrition, exercise, aging, and inactivity (e.g., bed rest) modulate metabolism. He has received funding from organizations such as the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI), and the Fonds de recherche du Québec – Santé (FRQ-S) to support his research. The ultimate aim of Dr. Churchward-Venne’s research is to contribute to improving the overall health, well-being, and physical functioning of our society.
